Ends Thur PM: 30% off Groupon coupon

Valentine’s day special at Groupon Local. Good until the end of Valentine’s Day in the central time zone [that’s FEBR-14-2019], coupon code FLASH gets you 30% off at Groupon Local. Local is where various photo print offerings reside.

Services can “absorb” this type of a discount but thin-margin electronics [eg (Physical) “Goods”] cannot, that’s why the “Goods” coupons are rarely more than 10% off…

The usual restrictions, limitations, etc apply. As always, be sure to read the terms/conditions of the various photo-print offerings since they are structured differently in terms of shipping and fees and such…

Exclusions and restrictions apply for both online and offline sales…

If your cameras or action cameras or smartphones or other devices take 400GB memory cards, as of the time of writing, Amazon herself is offering the new condition 400GB Sandisk Ultra micro SDXC (C10, A1) for $79 with free shipping. You can buy as many as you like [technically the limit is 20 but that’s more than enough for most people].

Pre-order the new Canon RP portable mirrorless full framer

It’s full frame mirrorless party! Canon has reveled a brand new full frame camera in their new mirrorless R system, a more “portable” camera, named so with the “RP” name, as in an R-system camera that is P-ortable! Pre-orders start at $1300 for the body only which is bundled with an EF-to-RF adapter (EF lenses on the new R bodies). Also, for a limited time during the pre-order festivities you can get your choice of a free Canon EG-E1 extension grip [this is not a battery grip]. The extension grip is available in your choice of body color.

All the aforementioned are available for pre-order at B&H Photo with a late February 2019 availability estimate.

Note that in the two kit bundles you see over-there there-are [“-” to prevent a double “there there” in a sentence] two different 24-105 lenses. The $1699 kit comes with the EF [yes, EF] 24-105mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM lens, while the $2199 kit comes with the RF 24-105mm f4L IS.

These are also available for pre-ordering at Adorama and also by Amaozn itself [note that the kits at Amazon are a bit confused, so pay attention to which option you are ordering]

In Europe, Amazon Germany has two kit options, both bundled with the EF-to-R adapter since that opens up a lot of lenses for the new R cameras. The body only (with adapter) goes for 1500 euro, while the kit with the adapter and the RF 24-105mm f4L IS lens goes for 2500 euro…
